About Chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours
Perched dramatically on the eastern clifftops overlooking Dieppe's historic fishing quarter of Le Pollet, this neo-Gothic chapel was built in 1876 by the Mutual Aid Society of the Navy as a memorial to sailors and fishermen lost at sea. The modest interior is filled with deeply moving ex-votos, including miniature boat models offered by fishermen to the Virgin Mary for protection, alongside marble plaques honoring families of those who never returned. The eclectic architecture blends Romanesque, Byzantine, and Oriental elements with distinctive brick construction.

Dieppe fishermen still maintain the tradition of baptizing their boats at this chapel, with each vessel blessed under the patronage of a specific saint before setting sail. While this custom has faded in most of Normandy, it remains vibrant here and in Brittany, connecting modern sailors to centuries of maritime faith.
